officially the graduate schools im applying to

university of minnesota in minneapolis
university of oregon in eugene
boise state university in boise idaho
georgia college and state in millridge georgia
louisiana state university in baton rouge
university of montana in missoula

minnesota, oregon, and lsu all have the opportunity for full tuition waiver
lsu (i think) pays the greatest teaching stipend of (16k or so)

boise state, montana, and georgia college and state all waive most of the tuition and have meager stipends. 9k or so.

from what ive seen all of these schools are fairly well respected for creative writing and poetry. minnesota montana and oregon are among the top 30ish programs i guess.

mostly i care about where they are and how much they pay for my school. lsu is looking pretty king right now, but id be happy to go to any of these. i guess my rankings right now would be:

LSU
OREGON
MONTANA
